Cherish the time

As if sensing his nervousness, Hikari Shinto showed him a—what could be called a gentle smile.

The dancing hair, the softness of the eyes, the perfect curve of the corners of the mouth, coupled with his tender little round face, can almost charm all human beings from the age of 80 to [-].

Poor Ikaku-kun was scared by such a smile...

"...Is it okay?" Just a moment of daze, he missed Shinto's question.

"Uh...can you say it again?" Yi Jiao's ears turned red all of a sudden, and most of the nervousness accumulated before disappeared at once.

"I let you three sons...is it okay?" Shinto asked while sitting there, without bringing Baizi in front of him in advance, "Or do you want each other to go first?"

Yijiao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Please let me have two pieces." He said and took the chess box containing the sunspots.

"Then... let's start." Shinto said with a smile as he put Shirako by his hand.

"Please advise."

"Please advise."

"Xiao Guang, what do you want me to do?" When I was in Ikunobuko, Sato hurriedly asked.

"Can I play guide chess?" Shinto Hikaru did not answer, but instead asked, "It is not necessary to win him." 』

"Uh... eh? Sato was confused, "If you don't win... Ikaku-kun will be angry, right?" 』

"...I was afraid that he would not be angry. ”During their conversation, Ikaku had already placed two sons in his upper right small eye and lower right star position, so Shinto quickly concluded the conversation, “That’s it. 』

"…Oh well. Zuo Wei knew that he had his own considerations, so he was not in a hurry to ask for clarification, "The small eye in the lower right corner. 』

At the end of the team competition, Shinto lost to Ikaku by two goals, Sato and Fukushima made a draw, and Mitani defeated Aso by one goal.

The kicking hall trio paid the entrance fee honestly, but they were also exempted from cleaning duties.

"Not bad! Ikaku!" Aso Shunsuke punched Ikaku on the shoulder blade, and whistled frivolously, "Even a professional chess player can beat it!"

Yi Jiao smiled unhappily, "It's handicap."

"Oh..." Aso thought for a while, "It's still very powerful!"

Yi Jiao shook his head and said nothing, looking a little depressed, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Others didn't know what he was thinking, but Hikari Shindo knew.

Based on the chess strength of "Shindo Hikaru" that Yijiao knew - whether it was the one who played against him or the one who played against the chess master - he would not easily lose to him in the case of two pieces.

So the only explanation for this happening is...

The opponent did not fight him with all his strength.

that's the truth.

Today, Zuo Wei didn't put his mind on the battle with him, but focused on guiding chess -- that meant that he didn't regard him as an opponent worthy of challenge at all, but a junior who could be carefully guided.

Even if Yi Jiao's mentality is correct... I'm afraid it will be unacceptable for a while.

Hikaru Shinto looked at Ikaku who was depressed after winning the game, walked over to say hello with a smile, "I'm going to have dinner...do you want to go together?"

Aso looked at Yijiao expectantly, and everyone could see that he really wanted to have a deeper communication with this new professional chess player.

"...No." Yi Jiao shook his head and refused.

Aso Shunsuke's expression collapsed all of a sudden, and he looked at Shinto's direction pitifully.

"I'm leaving too." Sangu burst a bubble, stood up and began to put on his school uniform, "Daddy, thank you for today too."

"Be careful on the road." The boss who was watching the small TV turned his head and warned.

So Shinto and Mitani packed up and walked out of the gate of the chess club together.

"Are you Haze's student?" Shindo Guangming asked knowingly.

"En." Sangu scratched his hair, striding forward with his schoolbag in his hand.

Shinto knew his awkward character, so he continued to talk to him without being discouraged, "Do you usually come here to play chess?"

"kindness."

"When did you start playing chess?" Shinto Hikari persisted.

Sangu's footsteps paused, and he quickly returned to normal, "It's none of your business."

"Ask." Hikari Shinto continued to ask nonchalantly, "If it's a round of one thousand... how much money did you make?"

"..." Sangu glanced at him and suddenly laughed, "Why? Do you want to try too?"

Shindo Hikaru looked innocent, "Who knows."

"Professional chess players still do this kind of thing...it's not good." San Gu blew another bubble.

"What's wrong?" Shinto Hikaru folded his hands and put them behind his head, looking really interested in gambling.

"..." Sangu originally thought that this guy was trying to persuade himself not to play chess, but he didn't expect that the plot didn't follow the script he had conceived in his mind at all, but developed in this direction by God.

Although he has always felt that there is nothing wrong with playing chess - he can make money to buy what he wants, and neither steal nor rob is harmless... But when a professional chess player shows such intentions in front of him...

He was actually a little...unhappy.

Chess is... the wrong thing to do.

He has always been aware of this truth, but he always compromises for the sake of realistic desires and interests.

So he just shut up and concentrated on chewing the tasteless chewing gum, and didn't answer Shinto's interesting-sounding question.

Shinto Hikaru saw that he was silent, and his heart became a little more clear - it seems that this guy still understands that playing chess is not a good thing.

As long as you understand this matter... then things will be much easier.

So Shinto tactfully did not bring up the topic of gambling, and honestly parted ways with Mitani at a certain intersection.

Not long after the two separated, Zuo Wei said righteously, "Xiaoguang! 』

"Huh?" Shindo Hikari was in a good mood, even walking with jumps.

"It's wrong to play chess! 』

Shinto Hikari almost choked on his own saliva!

"Stop thinking about such things! 』

"...I didn't intend to play chess! Shinto shouted in his head angrily and amusedly, "Really! 』—He was also a figure who once stood at the top of professional chess players!There is still some ethics!

"Uh..." Zuowei was choked up when he yelled at him, "But you said clearly just now..."

"That's what I said in Mitani! Shinto scratched his bangs, "I don't know what kind of mentality he is in now."After all, he used to be willing to cheat in order to win money. 』

"Then, what's the result? 』True natural dazed Zuowei said that he didn't quite understand.

"...It's much better than I imagined. 』Shinto Hikaru thought for a while, then showed a relieved smile. "There shouldn't be any major problems. 』

"Oh..." Zuowei reluctantly nodded, "Then... what about Ikaku-kun? 』
